Kaiyil mithakkum...

A song that symbolizes delicacy; from Rakshakan...

Kanava illai kaatra?
Kanava nee kaatra?

Dream or the wind?

Are you a dream or the wind?

Kaiyil mithakkum kanava nee?
Kai kaal mulaittha kaatra nee?
Kaiyil yenthiyum ganakkavillaye...
Nurayaal seitha silaya nee?

Are you a dream that floats on my hand?

Are you a dream that has sprout hands and legs?

You don't weigh even when I am carrying you...

Are you a sculpture made of bubbles?

Ippadi unnai yenthi kondu
Indira lokam poi vidava?
Idayil koncham vali eduthalum
Chandira tharayil paai idava?

Shall I carry you like this

And go even unto heaven?

Shall I lay a mat for you on the face on the moon

Even if it would be a little strenuous?

Kaiyil...

Nilavil porulgal idai izhakkum
Neerilum porul idai izhakkum
Kaathalil kooda idai izhakkum
Indru kandenadi -
Athai kandu kondenadi...

Things lose weight on the moon

Things lose weight in water

I discovered that things lose weight

Even in love -

I discovered it dear...

Kaathal thaaimai irandu mattum
Bhaaram enpathai ariyathu -
Un palingu mughatthai parthu kondal
Pasiyum valiyum theriyathu...

Love and motherhood are the two forms

That don't feel weight -

As long as I can see your mirror face

I wouldn't feel hunger or pain...

Unnai mattum sumanthu nadanthal
Uyaram dhooram theriyadhu -
Un mel vanthoru poo vizhunthaal
Ennaal thaanga mudiyathu...

If I would carry you alone

I wouldn't know height or distance -

If even a flower falls on you -

I wouldn't be able to stand it...

Kaiyil...
